I got a first class ticket upgrade and had an empty seat next to me from San Francisco to L.A., then in L.A. Don Rickles boards the plane and sits next to me, he looks at me and says "Please tell me you're a mute", so I just gave him nod and a thumbs up without saying anything and he says "Oh great, they got me next to a mime". Then he said "It's ok, you can talk...just not too much", then he proceeded to roast me for 45 minutes straight...all the way to Vegas. The guy never broke character.
Great story!!!
Best day ever!!
A veritable Rodney Dangerfield.
Lucky you, if only once I was insulted by Rickles It would have made my life complete. lol
Wow!
Johnny's talent was to always let his guest be in the lime light.
RIP Johnny we all miss you.
And there is the difference between Johnny and today's "comedians" that host shows. He knew if someone was hot, let it go. If they were struggling, jump in. Now the hosts talk over everyone and ask dumb softball questions and try to steer everything to politics.
Conan knew when to let the guest just be and when to guide them
Right? An unselfish host who “made” the greatest greater..
you put that well and recognized what made Johny so awesome! I miss him too, nobody today - no show comes close. Thankfully we have you tube to see it all again!
Craig Ferguson show was funny sad to see him go.
@@ag358 I used to die when he would do Charles.
Don Rickles, The one comedian that can go for 100% of his time and just shine. Comedy Gold.
Robin Williams is a close 2nd
Dangerfield #3
Fnfdr
Jonathan Winters belong up there too. his stories hurts the stomach from laughter.
Rickles realy is on fire when someone tries to hackles him, thats when he lives up. There is no change someone can be at his level in the future, cause thats needs a lot of live experiences on stage with small and bigger audience. And also beeing able to talk like a thug from the street and also act and speak in a elegant old school manner seamless.
"Sit back, you got the job!"...LOL!!
Nothing warms the heart than what the merchant of venom dishes out. We'll never see another comedic legend like Rickles again.
Maybe people like Burr, Chapelle, Gervais, Brand & Rock will come the rest of the way around & stop giving zero f*cks what the church of woke thinks & just savage everyone South Park style.
Love Burr, but he needs to realize the lett hates him.
That's because this woke world can't handle a guy like Rickles now.
and it's a shame that we won't
@Adriaan Verburg I'd say Gervais, Burr & Chappelle can come pretty close. Even pre-1996 Rock. But they've got to finish their divorce from the woke left & go South Park super sayain.
Old farts become conservative and Trump-loving. Thank goodness these hilarious clips of Rickles are on TH-cam.
Ed McMahon once said in an interview, when it was announced rickles was going to appear, ratings would shoot up, things would get a little tense and it became a big deal because they had no idea what rickles would do. Always the best show that week
never quite got Rickles, didn't find it clever or funny. Burt Reynolds always tried that act and it was embarrassing
@@lenabill1 ....
Sorry for your loss....of your sense of humor.
Who with any sense of humor doesn’t get Don Rickles. Laugh Bill Laugh
@@lenabill1
Me,?.. ... I never got beevus and Derriere head, the simpsons, and (99.3% of) family guy. "Didn't find it clever or funny". T****, mtg, and bowburt (always) tried that act and it was (even more) embarrassing
@@lenabill1 it's ok. We don't get you either
Don Rickles had an incredibly fast and great mind for quick ad-libbing! We miss your great humor so much in today's world Don!
He was mentally “with it” to the end; his body may have been failing, but his mind and wit were still pretty sharp.
I wish all these guys were still alive. Legends
Foster Brooks roasting Don Rickles is classic. Funniest ever.
Me too!!
Me too, my friend. Me too.
They don't make them like that anymore that's for sure.
You can actually kinda get new material from them. I was on chatgbt and essentially got it to write a bit about chest hair, as if it was coming from Don Rickles.
This is what it stated, verbatim;
Don Rickles was a legendary insult comic known for his quick wit and biting humor. To phrase the poem in his style, I might try:
"Hey, look at this guy over here with the chest hair. What's the matter, you couldn't find a sweater to wear, so you grew one on your chest? I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Seriously though, that's some impressive foliage you've got there.
You know, back in my day, chest hair was a sign of virility. Women couldn't resist a man with a nice thick pelt on his chest. Of course, these days they probably just think you're auditioning for a part in a Tarzan movie.
But hey, who cares what they think? You've got chest hair, and you're damn proud of it. It's like a natural toupee for your pecs. So keep on rockin' that chest carpet, my friend. And if anyone gives you a hard time about it, just tell them Don Rickles sent ya."
There will never be another comedian like Don Rickles. Funniest man alive for decades.
Don't forget the late Rodney Dangerfield--he was another funny man of his time also.
lousy chew
Lmao..So WRONG
Rodney
Jim Carrey
“Johnny you’ve been married. And married. And married...” lol
Grew up on Don rickles he's the best and never can be replaced❤
His humor was amazing….he was truly a genius…🙌🏾 rip sir …comedic legend
This man was an absolute humour machine gun. He steals any show by himself without effort.
I like that phrase!
Yup.
I didn’t like Rickles as much as Groucho Marx but Rickles could be funny. He’s relentless!!
the true icon duo!! RIP RICKLES & CARSON i’ll live every moment for you guys.. thank you for the laughter and company
Hey Ed's Dead Too Ya Know! RIP Ed!
Rickles was so sharp during his time with us. He was amazing and miss him dearly.
Sharp as a razorblade
Another legend...Don Rickles.
The man with 1000 insults. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even his bad jokes are hilarious. His timing and speed makes up for everything
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
There's no one else like Don.
Jack E. Leonard preceded Don, was the same type of humor, and probably just as good, not to take anything away from Don who was always great. Leonard never had as much exposure in those days. I'd love to here Leonard discussed more, especially as to how he compares to Rickles
I've watched him since I was a kid. I still find myself completely entertained by Don Rickles. Nobody could match him.
His interaction with Ed is stunning. Just hilarious all the way around.
My friend and I were in the studio audience for this taping, and we had a blast. For years I kept talking about the running gag Rickles had with Ed, when he kept telling him to sit back, you got the job. Thanks Don for the memories, you were great.
Were they always booked together? I’ve seen a couple of interviews where they were together on Carson.
@@oprahIV
DUH!!!
FWI, Ed was Carsons "co-host". Sort of a "second banana". He was ALWAYS there. Obviously you know nothing about the Carson show. Wise-up before commenting.
@@stephencolley334 Responding the way you did makes me feel sorry for you. You clearly have nothing better to do than being rude. Get a life please.
I would love to see talk shows be more like this…a funny conversation between guest star and host. Instead of the Q&A feel. Johnny Carson made interviews look so natural, relaxing, funny, interesting, and entertaining. There will never be another host like him or another comedian like Don Rickles.
Rickles goes from zero to 100 in an instant and just keeps it going the whole time. No one is safe, either.
The one word that comes to mind with all the greats of that generation is DIGNITY. They carried themselves and treated others with dignity. Such an honour to behold them in any way.
This happened in the old days, when comedians were on fun talk shows. Those days are gone.
There will NEVER be another. What a legend! So glad that all this great entertainment is still here for this generation to watch REAL talent ❤️
is there no real talent anymore?
@@zeb_reynolds 🙏
Love the bullfight music they bring him on with.
Everyone who knew him personally loved him, may the G.O.A.T rest in peace
This man was a legend, we watched him here in South Africa, had huge support all over. RIP Don, u were the best.
I watch these Don Rickoes Carson vids literally every night and I’m only 24. You would think I grew up in the 70s. Nice to see one uploaded from the actual king’s channel.
Being only 24, you have the inside track what is truly funny, musically talented, or original. Good show millinial. Robert at 68.
@@bobmalack481 love to make the cross-generation connection!
You must have great parents.
@@timothyadcock5103 I’m honored even though they didn’t show me, but I may have inherited their knack for nostalgia 🙂
@@jaxokream Good man. You will enjoy life.
Oh! He kills me just like 30 years ago! As a kid I can remember my Dear Dad squeezing out tears of laughter watching this razor blade of a guy! Fond memories...
Growing up with Carson and McMahon and their many guests with never a dull moment. The interplay between host and guest was always at its best.
For me it started with my mom and I watching Johnny's predecessor Jack Paar.
WHOA!
Jack Paar, damn you as old as me, n that means you an official "Old Fart"!
Razor wire wit. Charisma cranked to 20. Simply a joy to watch. Legend
Say what you want about him but there a guy who's far from boring you to tears like most guests on late night today, never a dull moment and sharp as a tack with Rickles, a true entertainer and one of a kind, never wavered.
Mr. Warmth Insults with Heart.
I can watch his Tonight Show appearances over and over again and always laugh my a** off!
They stand the test of time
Having witnessed all the genius of Don Rickles on Carson, you can feel the energy isn't right tonight. And it's this death energy in the first minute. But he finds it. Using some old jokes to stoke the fire as it goes. It's a Masterclass, and free!! Thanks :) Love them both so much
he was def not 100% from the gate as you said. You could see it in his walk. I've seen clips when he was much older and still had more pep in his step on his way to the chair than he did here. But who knows? He might've been coming off a couple months on the road and was just a little tired. In any event, even Don's off days would be a dream come true for most comedians.
Whatever you 2 are smoking, it's working ....
"Felt that" also here Todd....NICE CALL!!.....🍻
I don't live in US nor saw Rickles live and I'm a bit younger but I found him though the Dean Martin roasts on here and since have watched everything I can find. RIP this comedy giant.
Nor do I live in the USA Perhaps that's why we can laugh and marvel at the sheer brashness of Rickles, as he gently but firmly prods There is a clip on youtube of Nipsey Russel mocking Rickles. Just brilliant. And Rickles is laughing his arse off.
There are no stars today to match the stars of those days.
They can’t hold a candle to this era, no personality’s now, it’s horrific
The magic of Rickles is that he insulted everyone equally, especially himself. It's not said with cruelty or outrageousness, and comes across as lighthearted banter from a professional funny man. That is what so many "comedians" lack today. It's not that the audience has changed as much as the fools who try to shock everyone and genuinely hurt others in order to get laughs. Johnny, Ed, and Don were in my grandparents generation, and I was too young for all this - but I love them.
He was an original commedian who will never be duplicated.
No. He was way nicer towards women and adjusted his insults.
youtu. be/F9_V1Jw4TyQ
Shocking! Man In DRC Says "Islamic Terrorists" or "Jihadists" Don't Exist In Africa!
Led me to think
I grew up with this stuff. I was very lucky in that regard.
Appearance of Mr. Worth had always guaranteed success. Do not know how many times I rewatched these videos but there is always something new to note about his performance. What a star he was!
Seen this a million times before, still love every second
What's not to love?
Don Rickles, the G.O.A.T.
RIP
I can't believe how great he was. It also shows how great the Carson show was as well.
Nobody could bust on Johnny like Rickles and make him love it. Johnny seemed to love being on the receiving end of Rickles' barbs. I think he liked Don about as much as anyone he knew.
I LOVE DON! IT WAS AN EVENT When Don was on!!! He was a loving man. The best adlibber , No writers just off the top the of the head. Top of the Top!
It's difficult to be funny in general, but it's even more difficult to be funny AND make a living out of it, then still you think about how much more difficult it is to be funny AND make a living out of it WHILE insulting everyone around you. That was the life of the legendary *Don Rickles*
RIP
So true right! I think the vast majority of comedians are around for a few years maybe and then that’s it. So few last for so long like these two guys.
Don had the best ability to make people laugh at themselves.
Just imagine how much more we could've gotten from him if Jay Leno didn't get Johnny Carson's job. I'm still not sure how Jay was chosen over Don.
@@DickWigglin it was David Letterman that Jay Leno beat out for the job. Yeah, Leno can be funny but that was a puzzler.
Everyone I've ever heard talk about Don Rickles said what a great guy he was. He was very generous and humble.
Watching Don Rickles, whether w/Johnny Carson or Dean Martin roasts, always makes me laugh out loud. Never a dull moment, ad libs prove a brilliant commedian. Sorely missed in today's cancel culture
Yeah
The Greatest Show in History, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson & Ed McMahon! 🙏✝️🇺🇸✝️🙏
Thank you for adding new videos of Johnny Carson because they are all Excellent.
The King of Roasts, there'll never be one like him ever again. No one today comes even close to the man, the legend, Don Rickles. One of the funniest comedians I've ever listened to.
Rickles, and Carson, two of the all time greats.
The night he guest hosted for Johnny and went into the audience and asked three Japanese guys what were they doing in California. When they said. "just touring." He said in a deep Japanese voice, "Perhaps military bases."
I love when he does the blow dart bit after he insults the crowd lol!
NOBODY can do insult comedy the best as Don Rickles.
Rickles was one of a kind. RIP Mr. Warmth.
Don Rickle's wasn't a comedian of my generation, but you have to respect and pay homage to one of the greatest of all time
No, you really don't. And not the greatest of all time. Your metric for great could use some adjustments.
I love these old school comedians
Killing It the whole time!!
I was able to see him in Las Vegas in the 1980's and everybody was laughing so hard you were crying. He can never be out done.
My beloved Aunt caught his act at a casino in Atlantic City back ion the late 80's. She sat in the eighth row and he he didn't pick her out.
I miss these guys. All WW2 Veterans.
All WW 2 Veterans god bless them
Ed Mcmahon was the highest rank of them all. He retired as a Colonel in the Marines I think, maybe Arm.
Don was like a thunderstorm with the lightning wit. He was a legend.
"You have no lines Julia, just nod."
I loved that, and it broke up Julia too.
Lol love this humor SO MUCH. Absolutely legendary 😂😂😂
Don Rickles was in a World War II movie Kelly's Heroes in 1970, I also saw him in the tribute documentary Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project
@CyberspacefLoner “make him an offer, maybe he’s a Republican”
One word...LEGEND.
They don't make them like Rickles anymore...
Legend!!!
kadena!
Thank godness
"Sit back, you got the job." 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
The way he shakes Ed's hand in the beginning is hilarious
Right. It was like he was apologizing ahead of time for destroying Ed. 0:22.
I think the best part of when Don Rickles was on is to see just how much he cracked Johnny Carson. Seeing Carson laugh so much is very cool. I wished we still had comedians and late show hosts as good as these two were. There is not one comedian today, much less a late night host that can even touch Rickles and Carson.
Always at least one zinger that brings tears to my eyes- damn that guy was funny.
Don reads the udience right away a true natural
One of a kind. A legend.
I am not from states , and I am not from Rickles Carson “era” , and this is universal gold
Sad part is , things we watched years ago as kids, now have disclaimers on them ,
Can’t get enough of these old timers! The best time ever!
When I was a child... ahem... my Daddy would stay up to watch the Johnny Carson show. it was the only time I heard him really laugh. A lot. I would make sure my mother wasn't awake and sneak in the living room just to sit next to him on the sofa. Those are the kinds of things you miss.
Nice, very nice memory. I remember when school was out during summer break watching Johnny every night. A virtual staple of American history.
When I was in high school in the 70s, my parents allowed me to watch the 11 p.m. news and Johnny’s monologue, but if Rickles was on, I was allowed to stay up as late as necessary to see him.
The clip where Johnny tosses Rickles in the hot tub is still one of my dad's favorite Tonight Show moments.
My favorite is when Rickles hosted the show and broke Johnnies cig box. He then went to a studio next door where Rickles was filming his show.
@@chuckstockford2338 Yeah! I just saw that episode last week. For the first time that I’ve seen Don Rickles speechless when Johnny walked in while they were filming! 😆
I’ve never seen that one! I thought I had seen all of Rickles’ appearances. Obviously I haven’t.

@@aaa7189 Hey, thanks!
I've been watching Johnny Carson show since I was a kid I'm 66 years old he had all the great ones on there I wish they were still around I enjoy watching The comedians and all the movie stars God bless you Johnny Carson and God bless all the stars that you had on there I hope someday when I pass away I can meet them all I never got a chance to do anything like that when I was young God bless you Johnny Carson
First time I saw Don Rickles; as "Big Drop" from Beach Blanket Bingo.
I laughed my ass off! How many years has it been? They don't make 'em any better!
Certainly a most enjoyable interview with Mr. Rickles I've not seen with Carson! Much better than comdians of today! T'anks hyu !
I remember watching this show when it aired in '89...and remember the monologue was very funny. I wish someone would upload it.
Wow he was on fire
Imagine going to heaven and they put your house between Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield. You'd die laughing again and again.
Lmao....
Before Joan Rivers..was Don Rickles. Both had that bold, abrasive humor. Both had that quick..manic, comedic wit, a lot like the late great Robin Williams and George Carlin.
Uh, what are you talking about? Rickles and Rivers were contemporaries…
"sit back, you've go the job" is a diamond of a joke
wow how fast would they try to cancel Don nowadays LOL
The king of late night and the king of roasts. Unbeatable legends...
Miss you Don!!😢
Can you imagine Don Rickles doing his act TODAY? He'd be trashed and bad-mouthed on Twitter!
Don't worry...he wouldn't give two shits.
Rickles surprising Sinatra with a walk-on was a great show. You could tell Sinatra adored Rickles!
Don was sharp till the very end that wit never left him, he’s so funny 😂
His body may have failed him, but his mind didn’t.
Watching these reruns you realize what we have today is not close to what we use to have and the world is poorer for it.
he doesn't even have to come up for air. bang bang bang ...
'..sit back, you got the job'
If you can't make fun of yourself, just give up already. Comedy makes the world go round.
A true comedian..
Don was from the future, people are still trying to catch up to him today!
